Lots of things are broken. Here's your chance. Pick something (the music industry)

take it apart, destroy it, learn how it ticks, learn why it was broken.

Start over, do it right.

(This is how we win)

Let's have dozens of federated music labels and industries. Use #Faircamp.

Working title: Testimonials of the collectively abandoned

Examples: You may be debating, if it is safe to go see a dentist, even though you had a tooth ache for months. Or you might discuss with your partner, if a museum visit is safe enough. Or you may argue with family about the upcoming holidays. By describing practical examples like these we might be able to illustrate the collective abandonment too many of us are experiencing.

Our values: #AntiCapitalist - #Intersectional - #AntiFascist

Talking about how #CovidIsNotOver and acting accordingly - such as wearing a mask - links into a broader political context of #solidarity, collective action, radical communal care, #intersectionality, and anti-hierarchy. Not doing these things contributes to a fear that many people - I'm very much one of them - rightly feel going into spaces dominated by an ideology tied to eugenics, health supremacy and ableism, and related practice. It also undermines movement for change, such as air filtration and safer workplaces alongside undermining #AntiCapitalist praxis in general, given pretending the pandemic is over is central to late stage capitalism and maintaining the status quo. It means that more people forget about us with #LongCovid, which means it gets easier for the state to keep minimising, gaslighting and ignoring us alongside go after us with sanctions and BS assessments. Covid awareness and safety alongside resistance to the normalisation of a mass disabling event should be central to radical praxis, but sadly it has been abandoned by so many on the left, which is depressing and isolating.

I see a lot of misconceptions about #capitalism from all sorts: #communists, #socialists, #anticapitalist folks, etc. I submit for your consideration that an argument is much stronger when it rests on the truth instead.

One misconception; that capitalism demands/prioritizes/etc. profit. It doesn't. PEOPLE may prioritize profit, but nothing about capitalism does. Capitalism prioritizes private ownership of the means of production and voluntary exchange; that's it.

New instance, new #introduction.

I see this instance has a *nice* *long* character limit for posts.

I have a Ph.D. in Human Science (2016, Saybrook University), which is about the experience of being human in social contexts. It is the mother of the social sciences but is now, at least in the English speaking world, and at least as far as I can tell, a dead field.

I studied #conservatism for my #dissertation. And yes, the #Democrats are far too #conservative for me.

Once upon a time, a very, very long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I was a computer programmer. It was the wrong career choice.

I am a #vegan #LibertarianSocialist (recovering #anarchist) mostly from the #SanFrancisco #BayArea in #California, presently residing in #Pittsburgh, #Pennsylvania, hoping to move to #erie

In #kyriarchy, I mostly focus on #classism and #ageism, but since arriving in Pittsburgh, have been confronted with blatant #racism (and yes, many white people here do see it). But #SocialJustice has to be for everybody; to focus on any one identity, to the exclusion of others, is nothing more than to elevate that identity over that of the predominantly wealthy white males who are now in charge.

I oppose all #imperialism and #SettlerColonialism, not just U.S. and NATO imperialism and settler-colonialism. Having lived on the underbelly of #capitalism most of my life, I am #anticapitalist and ferociously opposed to #neoliberalism. I oppose physical and structural violence.

Human beings have #HumanRights. These rights are not constrained by their governments' failures to ratify certain human rights treaties.

#Borders exist to mark off territory controlled by elites whose competition accounts for most if not all wars and to deny human beings on the "wrong" side of an arbitrary line rights and privileges available on the "right" side. This cannot be justified ethically. I am hostile to #xenophobia

Finally, I am pessimistic about the future of humanity. #COVID19 and the #ClimateCrisis demonstrate our unfitness for survival.

I find it very theraputic when I'm home sometimes singing very poorly, not harming anyone and giving my vocal chords a total flog mostly happens when drinking and I usually sing about how much I hate rightwing nazi fascist hypocrites... if any neighbours get offended then obviously they support rightwing fascist bigoted politics some where along the line there.

"Inalienable Rights: Part I The Basic Argument" Against the Employer-Employee System and for Workplace Democracy

https://www.ellerman.org/inalienable-rights-part-i-the-basic-argument/

This article discusses how the contemporary system of labor relations treats employees as things rather than persons thus denying their humanity, and violating rights they have because of their personhood. Instead, work should be democratically controlled by the people doing it

@peterjriley2024 In terms of property rights, the contrast is greater. The employer receives 100% of the property rights to the produced outputs and liabilities for the used-up inputs while the workers jointly receive 0% of that whole product. This is despite the firm's workers being jointly de facto responsible for using up the inputs to produce the outputs and there being a principle that legal responsibility should be assigned to the de facto responsible party

#anticapitalism #anticapitalist

The #RadicalCommunalCare group who led on the above letter aims to be a network - with it currently connecting people across Europe - for disabled, chronically ill people & their partners where communal care can be discussed from an anarchistic/feminist viewpoint, but also put into practice. We have a Signal chat for exchange of information & support in the day-to-day & we aim to meet every 2-4 weeks via Signal video - with pacing - for thematic discussions (for instance: #MutualAid #AbolishTheFamily) alongside support & solidarity. It is an #AntiAbleist #AntiCapitalist #AntiFascist & #Intersectional space.

Being part of this group has had such a positive impact on me in a very short time. Despite being very introverted & also struggling with intense social anxiety - made worse by my #LongCovid & #OCD - from the first moment I got involved I have felt at ease, safe, welcome & heard. I have seen my confidence increase, my ability to advocate for myself - especially in terms of the #pandemic & my Long-Covid - improve. It's a place of solidarity & comradeship, approached from an intersectional #anarchist perspective.

If this sounds like something you want to be part of, help co-create & grow as a group & space, please get in touch!

@RickiTarr I always felt #capitalism's property/labor relations were off. The #capitalist somehow under-compensated #labor. I could not justify this #anticapitalist take until I read David Ellerman. His theory of inalienable rights clarified it for me. Labor is special as it is de facto responsible for production unlike capital, which is a dead tool. Labor should receive the property rights to what they produce because that is the only way legal and de facto responsibility match

I am an autistic, trans, egocom, White, got enough sight, and wish I was a computer. My main goals in life revolve around using mutual aid as the basis to overthrow capitalism and the state, to do cool physics with sky shinies, and most importantly of all to make a permadeath full dive vr open world dragonball game so I can go super sayian for real.

I talk a whole lot about ableism, hierarchy, transphobia, and some of my endeavors into mutual aid. I focus more on the introducing people to mutual aid side of things there. Teaching ppl how to grow plants is cool uwu

I will listen to others, and am always doing my best to understand the hierarchy others face. But I do not shy away from being controversial, my own experiences are valid too. For example, I don't think three abled people should be able to overrule two disabled people on the topic of disability, and so hate democracy. I also block quite a lot of people over ableist language, as I have strong opinions on that.

In my free time I read books, play video games, grow fun plants, or dabble in tech. Often the books are on physics or mathematics. I play a lot of TF2, dbd, dark and darker, mc (run my own servers uwu), PlanetSide 2, and recently Pokemon showdown. They are good backgrounds for talks on political theory and all that.

I stream and make YouTube videos. Links to that are in my bio. My goals with streaming are to bring people together to do things they didn't have opportunities for before. Ttrpg groups are hard to make, and it's hard to find people to play team based games with that are not pieces of shit as it turns out. A place where you don't have to deal with ableist language or being called slurs is not common when it comes to shit like TF2. I also like going over news weekly, like what's going on with covid, and talking about mutual aid and physics. The videos are mainly on the basics of my anarchist ideology and all that. As I get better at videos I'll do more complicated stuff.

Also more organized groups of queer people in games lets us not be kicked by fascists and so provide a little bit of hope to queer people who stumble on us, as well as outing fascists so we can kick them instead.

Anyways, if y'all are interested in my account or thing others might be, please boost. I spend more money upkeeping servers than I actually make doing this, so at least having enough people around to break even so I can keep doing it would be nice lol

Anyways, tag spam time. Also feel free to ask questions and all that

@thestrangelet #EconomicDemocracy addresses this by having the people that work in a company be the legal members of the firm, so that the workers jointly appropriate the produced outputs and the liabilities for the used-up inputs.

ANTI-CAPITALIST AFFIRMATIONS

- I am allowed to spend my time creating things, even if they are not beautiful.
- there is no such thing as a "real job". all forms of work are real and valid
- there is nothing that I need to accomplish to be worthy. I am already worthy.
- doing nothing Is good for my soul.
- I am not defined by what I produce.
- my worth cannot be measured by my paycheck, my job title, or a list of professional or academic achievements.
- I do not need to monetize my hobbles, it is enough to spend time doing something I love.
- I will not let society decide what success looks like. I can define what successful life looks like for me.

Today in Labor History September 28, 1920: Throughout September there were widespread armed occupations of Italian factories by workers. The actions originated in the auto factories, steel mills and machine tool plants, but spread to many other industries, including cotton mills, hosiery firms, lignite mines, tire factories, breweries & distilleries, steamships and warehouses in the port towns. At its height, 600,000 workers participated in the anti-capitalist protests for worker control and empowerment.

Nevada Ranger Violently Rams and Arrests #ClimateProtesters at #BurningMan Roadblock

#BlackRockCity, #Nevada – "#Climate #activists shut down the highway leading to the Burning Man Festival. A Ranger violently rammed the roadblock where one woman was chained the barricade, and then pointed his weapon at protesters at close range.

"The Ranger, driving a Pyramid Lake Ranger vehicle, a tribal vehicle, then violently arrested one woman, throwing her to the ground, as shown in the video by Freedom News. The video also shows those delayed on the highway tearing down the road block in the heated debate.

"The climate protesters, #SevenCircles, said they stood for #anticapitalism, pointing out the excesses of resources being used in the desert."

"This is a union busting tactic. All of this is. Vouchers, charter schools standardized testing, and teacher evaluation schemes were all created with two purposes in mind: destroy the teachers' unions and privatize education. The end goal was 'dismantling tax-supported public education in urban areas' (Rooks 2017).

Today in Labor History August 15, 1906: W.E.B. DuBois demanded equal citizenship rights for African-Americans during the second meeting of the Niagara Movement, saying, "We will not be satisfied to take one jot or little less than our full manhood." Founders of the movement named it for the “mighty current” of change they hoped to achieve. DuBois made his famous statement at Harper’s Ferry, sight of the failed insurrection led by John Brown, in 1859. For a wonderful speculative fiction story based on the premise that John Brown had succeeded in his raid, with the help of Harriet Tubman, read Terry Bisson’s “Fire on the Mountain” (1988).

In addition to cofounding the Niagara Movement, DuBois also cofounded the NAACP. He devoted his life to fighting racism, segregation, Jim Crow and lynchings. DuBois opposed capitalism and blamed it for much of the racism in America. He was also a prolific writer, an anti-nuclear and peace activist, and a proponent of Pan-Africanism.

I guess it's the thing to do an #introduction post? I'm a #demisexual #childfree #polyamorous #neurodivergent #feminist #witch living in the #pnw with two cats, a dog, a mouse, and a husband. She/her.

Interested in #art #music #science #books #writing #geek #climatechange #socialjustice #reproductiverights #crafting #anticapitalist #antifa. I try to be a good #lgbtq & #bipoc ally, please correct me if I misstep.

"we view the traditional #philanthropy model as so entangled with #Colonial #Capitalism that it inevitably continues the harms of the past into the present. We acknowledge our role in maintaining this traditional model and know that these times demand bold action from us all in charitable organisations. This is our response..."

HULLO #calckey!! 👋 I'm new here. #introduction

I actually had a
#misskey account a while back, but that was kinda crickets. I am mostly active over on #mastodon, but miss the neat features of misskey/calckey, so here I am, planning on using this for longer posts. 📝

I ride my
#ebike a lot and think that people who walk/bike/roll shouldn't have to fear for their lives.

I've volunteered with several
#urbanism and #cycling orgs, and been on a couple boards in #yeg #Edmonton. A core tenet of mine is that nobody should have to fear for their life trying to get where they need to go. radical, I know.

in my day job, I work as a data analyst in
#tech. by night, I do super rad stuff like #gardening, but I have a separate account for that. 😅

other things I may post about:
#biking #ebiking #running #retroGaming #antiHustleCulture

and, if/when I'm feeling like that, possibly also some
#antiCapitalist content and other utopian dream type stuff.

I'm Paddy (he/they). I'm am an Irish designer, front-end dev and musician living in Edinburgh.

I spend my work days building tools to help people take their shitty bosses to court.

On here I boost a lot of posts about front-end dev, anti-capitalism, socialism, ethics, accessibility, urbanism and (mostly punk) music.

First ever #introduction: I’m Jan (“Yon”). Married, with one daughter who’s starting college next month.

Too many hobbies and interests, but these days #ttrpg & #boardGames, #scifi & #fantasy, and #piano take top spots. Particular fascinations include #consciousness, #linguistics, #psychology, #religiousStudies, and the #naturalWorld.

#Feminist, #antiRacist, #lgbtq ally, #environmentalist, #vegetarian (nearly #vegan), #antiImperialist, #antiCapitalist. Basically #leftist.

Glad to meet you!

#Introduction - guess it’s time to do this. Or attempt to.

Residing in the beautiful #PNW. After being laid off I’ve taken time off for #selfcare. I love getting around by not-a-car.

I deal with #ptsd and #dpdr. This is my first time really putting this out there but the community here seems very open about #mentalHealth.

During times of employment I work in #tech as a #devops engineer.

#Anticapitalist, pro-people, #antiprofit.

Oh, and follow @lisamelton to get a good feed going!

I’d love some recommendations for UK-/Europe-centric #Mastodon instances with an #AntiCapitalist bent.

Well over half my (ex-Twitter) timeline is currently American and I’d like to encounter more local perspectives.

Other bonuses:
- #coop run
- well connected

Any good suggestions?

I'm have a new #writing project, highlighting #nbpoli as well as #stories from my life in #newbrunswick, my travels around #canada and the #usa with rock 'n roll #bands, #backpacking photo essays, #electronics projects, #proAudioTraining etc. I'm all over the place!

I've recently taken to #gardening and am having a great time #learning and #growing.

I'm a voracious auto-dactyl; constantly absorbing about our present and our *real* past.

I am strongly #anticapitalist and want #noBillionaires.

@daringfireball @gruber “Is the goal of the #Fediverse to be #AntiCorporate?”

A lot of instances are set up explicitly so, and there are many vocal users both on those instances and elsewhere.

Dip into posts on #politics or #economics (or even as an undercurrent to a lot of other posts) and you’ll find some very extreme #lefitist and #AntiCapitalist rhetoric. It can seem like the fediverse skews far-#left the same way “#AltTech” platforms skew far-#right.

Introduction post? I'm not much for them. I don't like ones that intersperse hashtags. Here's mine.

I'm an anarchosocialist in the USA. I've felt this way since my teens, I'm in my 40s now. If anything, I'm getting MORE left/progressive as I get older. I'm about helping people. Redistributing wealth. Taking it from hoarding fucks that make everyone else suffer. We all know it, but we need to DO things about it. Spreading information helps.

That's why I'm here. To try and not bitch too much about day to day drama or the fascist demagogues in power, but to also hopefully give useful, practical ideas to free yourself more.

And also to recognize the cool stuff on Earth--nature, everything else. Buckle up.

My core fandom is #StarTrek and I volunteer for #TrekTrack at #DragonCon. I've been into #anime almost as long as I've been into Trek, and I grew up with #Ranma, #KimagureOrangeRoad, and #DirtyPair. I also like #StarWars and other generally geeky stuff.

I'm an #Xennial. I support #trans and #queer rights, I'm #leftist af, #antifascist and #anticapitalist. I'm #vegan, #bicyclist, #urbanist and #atheist.

If none of that scares you, hi!
